    We're still thinking about this meal. DELICIOUS! This place has our Peruvian native's stamp of approval. Quantity and quality. The fried seafood with ceviche is a MUST. And the Tacu Tacu was amazing -- we dare you to try it and see how much rice & beans can surprise you! Our friend also had us try papas a la huancaina -- potatoes in this spicy cheese sauce. So much flavor. It's so worth the visit! Ordered: Papas a la Huancaina (not pictured), Tacu Tacu, Chaufa, and Clasico Rincon Limeno (fried seafood + ceviche)

    Best Peruvian food I've tried north of New Jersey!! My parents were in town so I brought them here based on a friend's recommendation. We're Peruvian so our expectations were high and the food delivered! Starting off with the jugo de maracuya which tasted fresh and homemade, not from a powder. Then the caldo de gallina which had real hen in it, and the arroz con mariscos tasted super fresh with the right texture for the rice. My dad also loved his lomo saltado. The indoor area is a little dark so recommend eating on the outdoor porch if the weather allows. Buenazooo

    I've never tried Peruvian cuisine and I'm so glad I chose Rincon Limeño to be the first. Once you step in, you're immediately greeted with the friendliest smiles and the most welcoming hospitality. The staff makes amazing recommendation and the food that we tried were ALL delicious and the drinks were super fun. The atmosphere is fire. If you want to have a good time with your date or friends / family, this is the place to choose!

    the price on the website is $1 less than when you went into the restaurant. the price is not accurate. The food was good. But I order some fatty piece. Prices are kinda high...

    Very lively and cozy atmosphere! Waiters were all very nice and friendly, also greeted us in Spanish by default so u know its authentic :) The ceviche fish has nice citrus flavor, and it was a large portion of fish! The sweet potato and crunchy corn that came with it also added good variety in flavors. The texture of the fish was a bit chewy at times but overall still good! The mini bandeja was also good, the rice was infused w some rly good savory flavor and the thin steak was so perfectly done and had a nice smoky and yummy flavor. The pork, beans, and egg were solid too. Salad had nice sour flavor to contrast the rest! The arroz con mariscos was sooo good. So packed w flavor and also w lots of squid and shrimp. It was not mostly just rice like many other restaurants are. Made sure to eat each and every last grain of rice :) In summary, some food was better than others but was still a great experience overall! And enjoyed the variety and flavors and large portions (we had lunch the next day too)

    Excellent Peruvian restaurant in Boston. Highly recommend their ceviche. Super fresh and delicious. The service was friendly and the ambiance was casual. The shrimp, white fish and mixed seafood ceviche were all excellent 5/5. I highly recommend Rincon Limeno restaurant to anyone looking for fresh Peruvian ceviche.

    Have heard sooo many good things about this place! I think this was my first time into east Boston. There are some sideways street parking right in front of the place but I'm sure there are parking around the area on the streets My bf and I came on Friday night and it wasn't busy at all. We walked in and our waitress was super nice and I took her advice on ordering the tacu tacu maricos because I love seafood. My boyfriend got the one with chicken. We both loved the flavor and the portions are actually very filling The only thing why it's 4 stars is because I can't really give it a 3.5. Pricing really caught us off guard because with 2 entrees, an order of app of empanada, and a drink. It came out to be $100 after tax. That's the only downside because it's not much of an upscale restaurant or anything. Other than that, I would 100% recommend and come back

    Ceviche Mixto

    Flavors - 4.4/5 Textures - 4.5/5 Presentation - 4/5 Value for Money - 4/5 Would return? Yes Must-try: Chupe de Camarones If you are hispanic this restaurant will make you feel at home ... from the service to the food, I loved every minute of it. Here is what I had: Chupe de Camarones: so tasty, savory and comforting. The shrimps were perfectly cooked, although I wish the tails were removed. It comes with a huge pile of very delicious rice. I want this all winter. The ceviche was very well balanced with a strong but not aggressive level of acid, and all seafood was firm and fresh. If you like fried seafood, you might want to get the ceviche mixto with Jalea (mix battered fried seafood), since the jalea was crispy and well cooked. I got to try the lamb with rice and beans, and the Arroz Chaufa (seafood rice) as well, both delicious and generous quantities.

    Rincon Limeno Restaurant is a Peruvian Restaurant located at 409 Chelsea Street in East Boston. There is but a few parking spots directly in front of the restaurants, otherwise, you can find parking on side streets nearby. My family came during the summer after taking the kids to Noddle Island and was able to enjoy the patio seating outside. The weather was gorgeous and we received great customer service that day. Our waitress did not speak much English but we both tried very hard to make it work. It was a struggle but we finally got our orders in. Our food came out at a good pace. The chef, I assume, helped buss some of the food out. When it came to the fries and sausages for my kids, he was animated when he came out to present them with his creation. I believe I ordered this from the kids menu so I assumed he came out to greet the children. You can tell he was proud of his creation down to the kids menu. The classico rincon limeno is a must try! You have a seafood ceviche served in a wine glass, and beneath it on a plate, is fried battered seafood and a red onion and tomato slaw. Next time, I am not sharing. Get this paired with your favorite drink and sit out in the back patio under the umbrella table with comfy patio seating chairs. As for the two meat dishes that we ordered, the meats were on the chewy side. I would skip the bandeja. The flan was good but pricy and lacked in presentation. They recently opened another restaurant in Revere closer to me so now I can get their ceviche whenever I want. Still, I prefer the patio seating available at their East Boston location. See my pictures.

    This place never disappoints! The service and food are amazing. The food is so delicious and fresh

    My friends suggested to check out this Peruvian restaurant so we made sure to come on a Saturday around noon. It was a beautiful day so we opted for their outdoor seating. We shared their fried calamari and yuka fries served with a side of chopped up tomatoes. A simple batter over fresh seafood was exactly what we wanted. The freshness of the tomatoes balanced the fried aspect of the dish. For entrees, my friends ordered the fried red snapper, steak served over friends fries while I had the creamy sauce with chicken. Unfortunately their names escape me but with how satisfied we were with each of our dishes, I feel like you couldn't go wrong. The fish was cooked to perfection and a massive portion enough for a minimum of two people. Steak fries were well seasoned with a few slices of sautéed onions for extra crunch. I enjoyed my flavorful creamy chicken served over a little bit of lettuce. Overall, we had a wonderful experience. I saw one of their soups on our way out and I just knew I have to come back. Cannot wait until then. Highly recommend!

    I enjoyed my time at Rincon Limeno, the service was very friendly and inviting despite a minor language barrier, and there were lots of different groups of people in the restaurant--families, friends, couples. The prices may seem slightly high, but the portion sizes are quite massive. The taste was a tad bland to me, but not more than the other far more high end options. Of the Peruvian restaurants I've tried in the area, I'd most likely come back to Rincon Limeno.

It was about a 10 minute wait for a table to clear, we got lucky. It was our first time having Peruvian food so we got a bit of everything. Mar y Tierra which is basically the lomo salteado served with pasta in a cheesy sauce instead of fries and rice and topped with shrimp, super tasty, well seasoned and tender meat. The trio Marino; fried fish was fresh and super tasty, especially topped with the citrusy red thin sliced onions; ceviche was light, refreshing, the corn gave it nice crunch and pop; arroz chaufa de mariscos had a good amount of shrimp, squid, and topped with a scallop, very tasty. We also tried the fried cuy , there's the option to order a quarter, half or full cuy. I'm glad I tried it, it tasted like a cross between chicken and pork. Lastly, we had the weekend special, seco de cordero, which is stewed lamb shank. It was falling of the bone and tasty, served with a hearty portion on white rice and white beans. I really appreciate that they have an "American" section on the menu for picky kids like mine who like to have chicken and fries no matter where they go. 4 out of 5 stars because although the servers were very friendly, service was lacking. We didn't get napkins or utensils until we asked and after getting the food. Food is made to order which is great but it all comes out at different times, it was fine for us because we were eating as a family, everyone trying each dish but it would not have worked well for a group each wanting their own meal. Shoutout to the owner who is cooking in the kitchen and also came out to check on all the tables. Overall it was a great meal and experience, you can feel the love and pride they have for their food. I would absolutely recommend and come back!

The restaurant is nicely decorated and laid out nicely with a small bar as you enter. However the place definitely retains the heat in the summer, I.e. it's hot, and the cold in the winter. People were wearing jackets and hats. The owner did recognize this and put out some space heaters to help with heating the space. Now for the important part, the food is worth it! I started with the Ceviche Mixto, one of the best I've had anywhere! Great spice and mix of fish and shrimp! HUGE portion so it's definitely a shareable appetizer. My main meal with Chaufa de Mariscos. This is mountain of rice if and seafood; shrimp, mussels, calamari. Another delicious well seasoned dish with more than enough to share and take some home! Another table had ordered the Caldera de Mariscos which was enormous and looked delicious. We were given a sample of the broth, OMG! On the list for my next visit! Overall the place is well run with the service being great and the food being served in large portions, even leftover it's great.
